Signs a Home Roof Needs Attention
When to Make the Call
Missing, curled or cracked shingles, granules in gutters, ceiling stains, daylight in the attic, sagging sections, loose flashing, and leaks that return after repair all deserve attention. If water is coming in and it is safe, move belongings, catch drips in a bucket and stay off the roof.
Never climb onto a wet or storm-damaged roof or touch water near ceiling lights. Gutters and siding are not covered here. Renters should call the landlord.
